New issues of the ‘Mein Kampf’ manifesto penned by Nazi leader Adolf Hitler over 90 years ago will be produced in France next year for the first time since 1934, much to the consternation of social media users.
Paris-based publisher Fayard raised the possibility of a reissue in 2015 and was met with an angry backlash, however La Journal du Dimanche reports that the company now confirms that they will bring out a new edition of the controversial book in 2020. Originally written by Hitler in 1926, the new French-translation text will be published alongside criticism penned by a group of 15 French and German researchers and Holocaust historians. News of the fresh publication drew a mostly negative response on social media, with the bulk of reactions on Twitter saying it seems like a bad idea. However, some pointed out that the text is already readily available if people want to find it, so what harm is there in republishing it in France?
